Maximum Installed Lighting

Maximum Installed Lighting

Maximum Installed Lighting

(OP)
Is there a standard on  maximum allowable installed interior and exterior lighting power for substations in Canada?
 
 

RE: Maximum Installed Lighting

I think you should ask about minimun not maximun, why do you want to know maximun values?

If there was no electricity there would be no internet. Good point, don´t you? :D

RE: Maximum Installed Lighting

Check Illumination Engineering Society (IES) handbook.

RE: Maximum Installed Lighting

I can think of two reasons to limit the maximum - There may be energy conservation laws that set limits, and for exterior there may be local laws about maximum nighttime light levels or light spillover to adjacent property.

RE: Maximum Installed Lighting

(OP)
I am looking for required watt/sqrm values for substation lighting designs. Inside the control room and outside the subsation. As "undervoltage" suggested, I may need to refer to IES hanbook,
Undervoltage: What book title refers to this specific subject?
Thank you.

Long time when I worked on the Lighting Design. I will have to see it smile

RE: Maximum Installed Lighting

NESC Table 111-1 gives required illumination levels for electric supply stations in the USA.  Is there a similar code for utilities in Canada?
